Mudita

My name is Ting / 庭 and I'm a language nerd who likes helping people. I have been a translator (CH-EN) for 7 years, used to teach, and have a background in literature and TESOL. Currently living in Eastern Taiwan. Like the X-Files and Sherlock (ACD & BBC). I have 8 9 side blogs, including one where I post vegetarian snacks and lunch, and a photo blog of my life in Taiwan. I started this one just to reblog stuff...but we'll see how it'll go. I welcome Chinese language questions and cultural-related questions about Taiwan. As a native Mandarin speaker, I learn and discover new things answering your questions :)
